The 48-year-old TV star has hogged headlines since he took to the ITV sofa in 2014, and regularly enjoys getting into a war of words through the show, with some of the biggest celebrity names out there.

Speaking to the Mirror, Piers said he makes sure he gets an early night – often hitting the sack before 9pm – but often struggles to sleep and feels awful as he heads into work to be on air for 6.30am.

He said: “I woke up at 1am, 2am, and then 3am I got up and watched TV, so you basically become a complete zombie.

“I bumped into Sophie Raworth at the Chelsea Flower Show and she did it for two years on BBC Breakfast with Jeremy Bowen and she told me he actually thought he was dying.

He had all these tests, and he thought he had cancer. It turned out it was just getting up at 3.30 in the morning.

Corbyn appeared on Good Morning Britain hours before May called a snap election.

“The moment he stopped doing the show, the pain went away.

“Literally, it was killing him.”

Piers has three sons with his ex-wife Marion Shalloe and a five-year-old daughter with his current wife Celia Walden.

“My wife has no sympathy because she’s been up three times a night for the entire duration of our five year old daughter’s life, so I’m aware people have to get up for work early and do night shifts and so on,” he added.
